    • I've looked through all our old NPE threads, and as far as we know they have never had the bottle to do court. There are no guarantees of course, but when it comes to put or shut up they definitely tend towards shut up. How about something like -   Dear Jonathan and Julie, Re: PCN no.XXXXX cheers for your Letter Before Claim.  I rolled around on the floor in laughter at the idea that you actually expected me to take this tripe seriously and cough up. I'll write to you not some uninterested third party, thanks all the same, because you have are the ones trying to threaten me about this non-existent "debt". Go and look up Jopson v Homeguard Services Ltd, saddos.  Oh, while you're at it, go and look up your Subject Access Request obligations - we all know how you ballsed that up way back in January to March. Dear, dear, dear - you couldn't resist adding your £70 Unicorn Food Tax, you greedy gets.  Judges don't like these made-up charges, do they? You can either drop this foolishness now or get a hell of a hammering in court.  Both are fine with me.  Summer is coming up and I would love a holiday at your expense after claiming an unreasonable costs order under CPR 27.14(2)(g). I look forward to your deafening silence.   That should show them you're not afraid of them and draw their attention to their having legal problems of their own with the SAR.  If they have any sense they'll crawl back under their stone and leave you in peace.  Over the next couple of days invest in a 2nd class stamp (all they are worth) and get a free Certificate of Posting from the post office.
    • Yes that looks fine. It is to the point. I think somewhere in the that the you might want to point out that your parcel had been delivered but clearly had been opened and resealed and the contents had been stolen
    • Hi All, I just got in from work and received a letter dated 24 April 2024. "We've sent you a Single Justice Procedure notice because you have been charged with an offence, on the Transport for London Network." "You need to tell us whether you are guilty or not guilty. This is called making your plea."
    • Okay please go through the disclosure very carefully. I suggest that you use the technique broadly in line with the advice we give on preparing your court bundle. You want to know what is there – but also very importantly you want to know what is not there. For instance, the email that they said they sent you before responding to the SAR – did you see that? Is there any trace of of the phone call that you made to the woman who didn't know anything about SAR's? On what basis was the £50 sent to you? Was it unilateral or did they offer it and you accepted it on some condition? When did they send you this £50 cheque? Have you banked it? Also, I think that we need to start understanding what you have lost here. Have you lost any money – and if so how much? Send the SAR to your bank as advised above
    • In anticipation of lodging my court claim next Weds 1 May (14 days after advising P2G that was my deadline for them to settle my claim) I have completed my first draft POC as below: Claim Claim number: xxxxx Reference: P2G MAY 2024   Claimant xxxxx   Defendant Parcel2Go 1A Parklands Lostock Bolton BL6 4SD  Particulars of Claim The defendant has failed to arrange for the safe delivery of the claimant's parcel containing a 8 secondhand golf clubs (valued at £265) that was sent to a UK address using their delivery service (P2G Reference xxxxx). The defendant contracted Evri to deliver the parcel (Evri Reference xxxxx) and refuses to reimburse the claimant on the grounds that the claimant did not purchase their secondary insurance contract. The defendant seeks to exclude their liability in breach of section 57 Consumer Rights Act. The secondary insurance contract is in breach of section 72. The claimant seeks reimbursement of £265, plus P2G fees of £9.10, plus postage costs for two first class letters to P2G of £2.70, plus court fees, plus interest. The claimant claims interest under section 69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at the rate of 8% a year from xxxxx to xxxxxx on £276.80 and also interest at the same rate up to the date of judgment or earlier payment at a daily rate of £xxxx   Details of claim Amount claimed £276.80 I look forward to your thoughts and comments guys! As ever, many thanks - G59

    • Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

hope you don't mind the question but is there a cap on costs for multi track claims?

Hi all,

 

Been awake most of last night wondering what to do regarding this court case with egg credit card. After their last offer before this one what I can afford will not be suitable as I am paying them as much as I can already at £10 per month. They asked for £150 per month plus the voluntary charging order which was a bit silly really as I was paying £160 per month minimum payment when I got into difficulties. They obviously have only given me the seven days because the paperwork for the court has to be filed by the 9th April? I have looked up this Calderbank offer and it looks as if its a double edged sword. In fact they have only given me five days if you count the weekend and four if its by date of the letter. I did read that the offer needs to be open for at least fourteen days to be considered by the Court as a reasonable period? Anyone any helpful tips or thoughts please?

:!::!:Hi All,

 

Can anyone help me with my amended defence

- have been staring at this computer now for two hours and my mind's gone completely blank with panic

as I realised that it's Easter and I haven't got until the 14th I will have to get it in by tomorrow.

 

What should be in the amended defence is it the correspondence I have had with DCA

- copy of the dodgy cca

- template of the DN

- I think I'm going to pieces

- went through a pedestrian red light the other day as this is driving me crazy and nothing else is in my head at the moment

so am waiting for something to drop on my mat about that!!!!????

 

Lost the plot - never felt like I've needed a drink this early ever

- come to that I don't really drink!!!!!?????:(

Oh course sorry see what I mean I cannot think straight.

 

I sent in my AQ in January with some wonderful help from here with Draft Directions which have come back

 

There shall be a standard disclosure of documents by list by no later than 4.00. p.m. on 12th April, 2009 to include:-

Claimant's copies of the Credit Agreement and any documents referred to within it,

Default Notice compliant with s87 (1) Consumer Credit Act, Document, contract or deed of assignment, and Notice of assignment,

with proof of service of the same compliant with s196 of the Law of Property Act 1925.

 

There be an inspection of documents by no later than 4.00 p.m. on 14th April.

There be simultaneous exchange of witness statements of fact by no later than 4.00. p.m. on 1 June 2009.

 

I have several different copies of terms and conditions with nothing to link the CA with the Terms and Conditions received.

I know that they can only produce a template of the DN and a very dodgy looking post itted CA.

But I don't even know where to start on this. Help!!!!

From what you said, you only need to exchange documents by 12th April - you don't need to do anything else by then. If you haven't got any documents that they need to see then you don't need to send them anything.

 

Once you have the documents from the other side you then need to do your witness statement by 1st June.

 

Where does it say anywhere on the order that you need to do an amended defence by 12th April?

Hi there Nicklea,

 

Looking at the Notice of Allocation to the Fast Track it doesn't

but when I took my AQ in with the extra bits of defence in the court office

she said I would have to file these again when I did my amended defence?

 

What do I have to send in my the 9th as it says there shall be standard disclosure of documents by list.... to include?

 

The DCA have sent a "Calderbank" offer but only given me seven days to reply.

 

Am I just in a general state of panic - so maybe like you say its the

"There b simultaneous exchange of witness statements of fact by no later than 4.00 p.m. on 1 June 2009"

 

is that my amended defence bit??

 

Many thanks for replying.

Is an N244 appropriate or should I wait and see if they can produce the documents as in the Draft Directions I requested that it be struck out if they cannot produce the documents - I did try and do one at the same time as my AQ but the DWP did not send me proof of income support in time?

Hi there Nicklea,

 

Looking at the Notice of Allocation to the Fast Track it doesn't but when I took my AQ in with the extra bits of defence in the court office she said I would have to file these again when I did my amended defence?

 

I presume that in your original defence you said something like "I will do a more fully particularised defence when the Claimant complies with my request to see these documents"

 

Well, you can't do an amended defence until you do see these documents

 

What do I have to send in my the 9th as it says there shall be standard disclosure of documents by list.... to include?

 

This is a list of any documents relevant to the claim that you have in your possession. You list them (if you have any - you might not) and then send the list to the other side. They then say which documents they would like to see. The other side may actually just send you copies of all the documents rather than send you a list of them

 

 

The DCA have sent a "Calderbank" offer but only given me seven days to reply.

 

This is a letter that says something like "without prejudice except to costs". What they are doing is offering you a deal prior to going to court. It's up to you to decide whether to accept this deal or not.

 

 

Am I just in a general state of panic - so maybe like you say its the "There b simultaneous exchange of witness statements of fact by no later than 4.00 p.m. on 1 June 2009" is that my amended defence bit?? Many thanks for replying.

 

You can request that your defence be amended at any stage, here is a clear explanation of what a witness statement is for:-

I really don't know how much use it is trying to get claims struck out - I've never heard of anyone being successful before the hearing

Many thanks Nicklea,

 

All I have really is letters and replies to the letters that they have sent and a copy of a letter from The Ministry of Justice

saying that regarding the question of charging orders on unsecured debt that my MP wrote to them about

- that no decision has yet been made on implementing this.

 

I was going to include that as DCA are trying to go for a charging order at the same time.

 

Does that sort of correspondence go in the amended defence or as documents as all I had thought of is challenging the validity of their CCA

as there is another persons name on a post it over the words

 

"Important you should read.......and is plastered over most of the second page

- is this the appropriate time to bring this up or is that the amended defence bit??

  • 1 month later...

This is a bit of an up date on Egg (Drydens) - I wrote and thanked them for their Caldebank Offer which unfortunately I could not accept. They have now written with a "Tomlin" offer - can someone tell me what a Tomlin offer is I guess its a pre court settlement offer? They are putting very harsh clauses in regarding increasing payments and the right to go "for the jugular" if I am a day late with a payment? I haven't heard anything from the Court regarding whether or not they put in their documents that the judge asked them to produce by the 12th April but I have got a date of the 3rd July. Do I have to put in an amended defence or do I now put in the N244 as they obviously haven't been able to produce a copy of the default notice etc.? Anyone? Have got to sign off till tomorrow as not on line until tomorrow am. Would really appreciate some advice on this one. Many many thanks for all the previous help and support.

As regards the "uneforceable debt" thingy - I did see in the paper today a small snippet saying that they were considering halting any further applications as there are approx 100,000 cases waiting (taking that with a pinch of salt its still a hell of a lot!!!!)8):eek:

if you beleive you have a strong case against them then do not accept a tomlin order....it is more than you think and they will more than likely increase payments and with this T/O it is in effewct a new agreement...

 

 

Term: Tomlin Order

1.

A Tomlin Order stays a claim on agreed terms that are set out in a schedule to the court order, which remains confidential between the parties and brings the disputes between the parties and the litigation to an end other than for the purpose of enforcement proceedings, if they are required.

These orders are recognised by Part 40.6 of the Civil Procedure Rules and generally take the form:

'The parties having agreed to the terms set out in the attached schedule

IT IS ORDERED BY CONSENT:

1. That all further proceedings in this claim be stayed except for the purpose of carrying such terms into effect

2. Liberty to apply.'

 

The terms of settlement are thus set out in a confidential schedule to the order

Would do no harm to call the Court and ask if they have submitted anything following the order to submit by 12 April.

You are under no obligation to accept the terms within the T.O.

 

There remains sketchy details about the claims.

Its too early at this point to know if there will be blanket stays imposed.You could ask your Court to clarify that while you are on to them.

Have they dated the TO ?

The other thing of course is that you could respond to their TO with your own and take out the clause that allows for an increase. You could say that you would only agree with no review clause.

 

I personally would never advise anyone to agree to a Tomlin with a clause giving the other side an unconditional right to increase payments

 

The essence of a TO is that it avoids a CCJ - which is why there is always a clause that if you default that they can enter a CCJ

 

As I think, as has been explained already - the issue really is do you have a defence to the claim that has a realistic prospect of success - on the basis of what is on this thread I can't express a view. I'd need to look at the agreement, D/N etc

 

Is there a thread already - if there is it might be easier if everything was on one thread so that its' all in one place

Hi guys,

 

Many thanks for the replies - have only just managed to persuade my 'puter to say "yes" to working as it decided it had lost the desktop. The main thread I will post when I work out how to link - I will just go and look at how to post the link. Would I have received any copies of any documents (if any) that would have gone to the court. The Tomlin offer only gave me 7 days from the date of the letter to reply - its been fourteen and they have wrote to me on Friday to ask me to reply? They do not have a DN only a template of one to show me what it would have looked like as I did not receive one. Am going to try and link the post now.
